The Heavenly Abyss and Eight Barren Demon Halberd were created before the first-generation Civilisation Supreme Treasures. Although they were not items used for controlling the Fortuity of a Civilisation, their powers far surpassed any Civilisation Supreme Treasure.

 

It was apparent that such Artifacts were not created in the Boundless Expanse. They did not belong to this world. No materials and substances in this world could be used to create them.

 

The Immortal King from the Other Domain, whom Gu Changge had met in the Immortal Domain, had merely created a mimic which contained a wisp of Eight Barren Demon Halberd’s true Divinity. This was after he had spent countless years looking for the materials to make copy of the original weapon. Yet, this flawed copy allowed him to be peerless among all other Immortal Kings.

 

Gu Changge was the only one who could control the Eight Barren Demon Halberd, no one else could control it.

 

After Mountains and Oceans True World went through its Second Great Purge, the Eight Barren Demon Halberd fell into the Lower Realm and was picked up by a Sacred King Realm expert.

 

However, the Sacred King was intimidated by its ferocity. In the end, the halberd penetrated his body and killed him.

 

The secret realm that many cultivators saw at a later time was caused by the aura coming from the dormant Eight Barren Demon Halberd.

 

However, those things happened a long time ago.

 

Gu Changge shook his head. He did not have to handle the matters at the Immortal Spirit Civilisation for now. As long as Hun Yuanjun, Zhuo Fengxie, Spirit Empress, and the others followed his orders, nothing unexpected would happen.

 

Since those from Primary Hope Civilisation were so cautious as to not send anyone to come over and find out what was happening, he had no choice but to take the initiative to make a move.

 

The next moment, Gu Changge waved his hand as a dark light appeared. He held the Eight Barren Demon Halberd again. The dark weapon was hefty and profound. It was heavier than any substance. There were not many patterns on its surface, but an icy and intimidating aura seemed to be flowing around it.

 

The halberd was still and cold. The light radiating from the weapon was able to destroy everything in the world.

 

“I’ll bring you to see your old friend.” Gu Changge shook the halberd and pointed it south. As he shot into the sky, his ferocious aura swept across the entire world.

 

The Eight Barren Demon Halberd hummed as though it was excited.

 

The entire Immortal Spirit Civilisation seemed to be trembling. Countless universes and ancient worlds were shaken by the horrifying aura.

 

At that moment, all the Dao Realm experts in the Immortal Spirit Civilisation felt their chests tightening. They were terrified. Nevertheless, the feeling left as quickly as it had come. It was as though they were merely hallucinating.

 

[A weapon of pure evil! I have a feeling that I know about this, but my memories have become fragmented…] Within the Sphere of Ambition, the Artifact Spirit was flabbergasted when it saw what was going on. It had no idea which level the Supreme Treasure called ‘Eight Barren Demon Halberd’ was, but it could feel the aura of world destruction from it.

 

It was terrified.

 

Even if the Sphere of Ambition was complete and in its best condition, it would still be easily destroyed by that weapon.

 

Gu Changge summoned Spirit Empress, Wan Yanxiu, White Bone Ancestor King, and the others to give them some orders regarding the Heavenslayers Alliance. He told them to follow the plan and continue expanding the Heavenslayers Alliance’s influence in the Boundless Expanse so that they could attract even more followers.

 

Mu Yan, Mo Tong, and the others were born with great Fortuity. Although they could increase their powers quickly, it would take them several ten thousand years or even longer to become powerful enough for his needs. Thus, Gu Changge did not expect them to become useful in a short time.

 

Mu Yan, Spirit Empress, White Bone Ancestor King, and the others were shocked, wondering why Gu Changge would give them such orders. It had only been a few years since the Heavenslayers Alliance was founded. They had made a name for themselves in the Immortal Spirit Civilisation thanks to Forces such as the Hun Clan and the Zhuo Clan. In fact, they had become the greatest Force in this True World.

 

However, in their opinion, the Heavenslayers Alliance was still newly formed, so there was a long path ahead of it.

 

Was Gu Changge ready to leave the Immortal Spirit Civilisation, which was why he gave them such orders? Was he going to pass the Heavenslayers Alliance to them and forget about it?

 

Actually, for people like Wan Yanxiu, and those from the Spirit Ruin Royal Family, they were hopeful about the establishment of Heavenslayers Alliance. They felt that when the Heavenslayers Alliance’s influence expanded and included those Supreme Civilisations, there would be a drastic change in the Boundless Expanse. Countless weak True Worlds would become their supporters.

 

During this period, they sent their Clansmen to the Boundless Expanse to spread the purpose of the Heavenslayers Alliance.

 

The surging Power of Faith was ample. This showed that the Heavenslayers Alliance was starting to show signs of truly becoming a powerhouse in the Boundless Expanse.

 

When it reached a certain extent, maybe the countless followers of Buddhism and Daoism could not be comparable to those of the Heavenslayers Alliance.

 

Naturally, Gu Changge would not spend too much time and energy managing the Heavenslayers Alliance. He had been carefree for all his life. When he was in the Upper Realm, he let Yin Mei, Yue Mingkong, and the others handle most of these miscellaneous matters. He did not keep Mu Yan, the Spirit Empress, and the others by his side for them to do nothing.

 

If they could not even deal with such matters, what was the point of keeping them by his side?

 

“I believe all of you can handle everything well. I feel assured to let you handle the Heavenslayers Alliance.” At that moment, Gu Changge smiled and spoke gently to Mu Yan and the Spirit Empress.

 

The Spirit Empress had always regarded the Heavenslayers Alliance’s existence as a noble mission.

 

Upon hearing Gu Changge’s words, she felt that the weight on her shoulders had become heavier. Her flawless face turned solemn as she said, “Don’t worry. I won’t disappoint you.”

 

Mu Yan nodded as well. She could feel that Gu Changge had pinned his hopes on her.

 

Something had been troubling her all along. She indeed had developed some other feelings for Gu Changge apart from admiration. However, it was apparent to her that Gu Changge never treated her differently from the Spirit Empress and the others.

 

The Spirit Empress was a real Dao Realm expert. Mu Yan was not comparable to her in any way. It could be said that she should not be as important compared to the Spirit Empress. In fact, she had always wanted to be like the Spirit Empress, who could help share Gu Changge’s burden. She was not willing to keep burdening him.

 

“It’s not like I’ll stop handling the affairs of the Heavenslayers Alliance altogether. It’s just that there’s something even more important for me to do. The Immortal Spirit Civilisation isn’t our final goal. You have to know that our goal is the vast Boundless Expanse.” Gu Changge said with a smile.

 

“Do you need me to tag along, Alliance Leader?” During this period, the White Bone Ancestor King recalled many fragments of his past memories. He was instinctively against joining a Force, but he now genuinely regarded himself as part of the Heavenslayers Alliance. He was significantly more obstinate and fervent than the Spirit Empress and Mu Yan in its purpose.

 

“There’s no need for that. Just stay in the Heavenslayers Alliance. Perhaps those from the Primary Hope Civilisation will make a move against Immortal Spirit Civilisation after I leave.” Gu Changge shook his head. [Those from the Primary Hope Civilisation had not made a move after such a long time. They most likely had heard of some news from the Rising Dawn Civilisation.]

 

Back then, Gu Changge had indeed underestimated the Rising Dawn Civilisation. He had taken a peek in advance. Yet, they detected it and kept their guard up till now.

 

However, the existence of Heavenslayers Alliance would become known throughout the entire Boundless Expanse. Even if the Rising Dawn Civilisation joined forces with other Supreme Civilisations, they would not be able to disrupt Gu Changge’s plan.

 

“Yes, Alliance Leader.” There was a hint of strangeness behind White Bone Ancestor King’s gaze as he nodded respectfully.

 

Gu Changge disappeared the next moment. No one saw how he had left. It was as though he had vanished into thin air.

 

Mu Yan did not seem willing to part ways with him.

 

The Spirit Empress shot her a look. She suddenly realised that Mu Yan’s existence posed a threat to her.

 

She would not show her emotions on her face, considering her identity and power. Anyway, she had no idea where this sense of threat came from. However, it was true that Mu Yan had frequently spent time with Gu Changge during this period. Whenever she came to report certain matters, she would always see Mu Yan there, which frustrated her. She felt that Mu Yan’s existence had affected the time she could spent with Gu Changge.

 

Nevertheless, as the Empress of the Spirit Ruin Royal Family, she would not allow herself to fall out with an ordinary cultivator like Mu Yan. That would only make Gu Changge feel like she was narrow-minded.

 

After Gu Changge was gone, the White Bone Ancestor King also disappeared.

 

Mu Yan sighed and pocketed her gaze. Then, she glanced at the Spirit Empress and said, “Sister Spirit Empress, you don’t have to be hostile against me. I pose no threat to you.”

 

She was intelligent. Having lived in all sorts of terrible environments since a young age, she was adept at observing others’ expressions. Naturally, she could tell that the Spirit Empress was displeased with her and hostile against her.

 

It was just that when Gu Changge was around, she could not speak her mind for some reason. Now that Gu Changge was gone, she decided to have a talk with the Spirit Empress.

 

“Oh? Why would I be hostile towards you? You’re overthinking things.” The Spirit Empress smiled faintly, appearing to be elegant and distant again. Naturally, she would not easily admit to such a matter. That would only embarrass her.

 

Mu Yan knew that was how the other woman would react, so she did not mind the contents said. She just gently continued, “You don’t have to be like this, Sister Spirit Empress. Young Master Gu treats you and me the same way. Although he seems gentle and polite, that’s only the surface. He keeps a distance from everyone. If you try to approach him, you’ll discover that there’s a huge gap between the two of you that you can never cross. It’s as though he’s in a different world.”

 

The Spirit Empress was startled. She could not help but acknowledge her words to be true.

 

She lowered her head, feeling crestfallen. After all, she was a proud woman. Other than being the Empress of the Spirit Ruin Royal Family, she was also the top prodigy of the Spirit Ruin True World in so many epochs. She had never imagined that she would one day develop feelings for a man. She had implicitly expressed her love for Gu Changge, but he usually just ignored it or brushed it off.

 

She sighed almost imperceptibly. When she looked at Mu Yan, she suddenly felt they were just as pitiful.

 

“When we were in Azure Sky Realm, Young Master Gu suddenly brought up a name. I’m curious about who that person is. I’d like to see that person.” Mu Yan smiled. “When a person is elusive and charming enough, people will willingly be drawn to that person.”

 

Then, a bitter and envious smile played on her lips.

 

It was the Spirit Empress’ first time hearing about such a matter. While in a dazed state, she could not help feeling envious.
